Explanation

• YAML Front Matter: The front matter at the top (--- section) specifies the document’s metadata, such as the title and output format. In this case, it’s set to html format.

• Mermaid Diagram: The Mermaid diagram is included within a code block labeled mermaid. The diagram itself is a flowchart with nodes and directed edges.
